Winter games are already the most adventurous and the most dangerous games of all. But still designers are unveiling more gear that will make these games even more dangerous. A Skateslider is nothing more than a ski and a inline skates combination. The small skis get easily connected to the skates when you remove the wheels. You can easily learn how to use them if you have a bit of experience in inline skating. Other good feature is that you can easily transport them as they are smaller in size. The only problem I see in the kit is that the traditional skis are larger in size so that your weight is equally distributed over a larger surface area. Since these skates are smaller I think it will not be a good choice for deep snow skiing. The kit is bearing a price tag of about $70. Via: ohgizmo
